I am collecting data for someoneelses blog post[1] about the gap between sales promises and reality in colocation. Please reply with your experience: from signed contract to actual usable rack with power.

My own datapoints:

  • Contabo AMS2: quoted 6 weeks, delivered 14 months. They "forgot" to order the busbar extension.
  • Hetzner LON1: quoted 8 weeks, delivered 22 weeks. Mediocre but honest about delays.
  • Leaseweb FRA3: quoted 4 weeks, still waiting at 7 months. Sales stopped returning calls.

Current median from 17 responses: 4 months. The fastest is 11 days.

[1] Not my blog. I am not an optimist.
